I still love the GSD3's. So the decision might be a hard one.

I have driven my C5 with the GS-D3's several times in the rain. Especially hairy is when driving the commute lane, in the rain, in the dark in the S.F. Bay Area. No complaints with wet or dry weather grip and very happy with these tires on an autocross course. Not as good as the "R" tires but better than most of the other brands.
Not that I would, but I wonder how this design would fare in the snow. Probably without many horizontal cross-tread blocks would not fare very well.
